Headlights

If you look carefully, you will be surprised by number of people who drive with their headlights on during broad daylight. Is there something that I missing about all this? Or have some people become so programmed that they turn on their headlights every time they start their engine, regardless of the time-of-day?

And beyond that, we have some people who have their cars equipped with those extremely bright Xenon headlights. You see, nobody really needs lights that bright, but some are still willing to pay for it anyway. I wonder what goes through their mind when they are driving their Xenon-equipped car. Because when I see a car behind me with their headlights blinding my field of vision via my rearview, I don’t even envy and think, “wow, I wish I had the same exact lights that are currently burning a fucking hole thru my retina”. People are so silly sometimes.

The third thing I want to say about headlights is the phrase “deer in headlights“, which is used to describe the mental state of surprise caused by anxiety, fear, suprise, etc.  Ever year, many deer in are killed through this deer in headlights scene. They begin by innocently frolicking through the magical woods until they accidentally end up on the road. They become hypnotized by the pair of glowing eyes, growing ever so greatly as the vehicle comes closer and closer..until BAM, from beautiful life to instant roadkill. Kind of funny, in a way.

Because there is copious amounts of empirical data which shows that there are fewer number of accidents with cars who have their headlights on in daytime than off.
